It's time for the next progress report and thankfully it's been a productive month despite the heat, since the Samara build was released.

For this update I'll be going into detail of what the next larger build will include as a milestone and my progress as of this month so let's get right to it.

One of the more immediate updates was to how baths work in the game.

Originally the baths were only accessible by a single character at a time, the other party members were even coded to leave temporarily if you entered the Western area of the castle.

Now when entering baths, your other party members will appear in the background and gain the *Refreshed* buff alongside you.

The other characters aren't directly controlled by you but they can be interacted with to learn a bit more about them, more in-depth details about their characters they might only be comfortable talking about in the privacy of a bath.

Hot Springs can also now be found randomly within the dungeons, which may prove more useful the longer or more difficult a run becomes.

Now while in the castle, you have a chance to be invaded by Incubi, however if you use the springs in the dungeons, you may encounter either a Water Duress or a group of Kappa.

As your character is gradually dominated in these encounters, your companion(s) will also be ravaged alongside you.

The Water Duress and Kappas function similarly to the Incubi with 2 notable exceptions. The Water Duress can take multiple actions at once which can quickly overwhelm a more sensitive character.

The Kappa also possess a unique grab attack wherein they will forcibly extract an orb from the girls' anus, a Shirikodama.

If a Kappa successfully initiates an extraction, it will instantly drain both Energy and Resolve, causing an orgasm shortly after.

Moving onto the Berserker, I've decided to upgrade him a bit. While before I considered him  an "Elite Enemy", if I had to tier the enemies. The Berserker will now be a roaming Boss, the same type of enemy class as the Dithonion.

He will also appear in the Liminal Dungeons as well and will begin hunting the player should you get close enough to be spotted.

He wanders around the dungeon layout trying to find the player and if you do get spotted he'll appear in the chambers you enter.

I'm considering giving Berserker the ability to randomly take ownership of the floor key.

Now in terms of his new attacks, he'll have a similar moveset to his previous version with a greater ability to take on a full party of girls.

His sexual attacks will include Vaginal and Oral grabs with high Resolve damage that can bring defeat quickly. 

He will also have a 3rd High Severity sex grab that, if successful, will instantly defeat a solo or last standing character if he lands it. However if he uses it on a character in a party, he will mount them like a trophy and use them to cast powerful AOE spells that'll make his fight tougher.

One last thing to note about the Berserker is that he'll now be able to Subjugate your characters and take them to his lair as trophies.

For the next build I'm targeting a restoration of as much of the still missing content as possible.

Both Dr.Midday and Treu will be restored in the next build, along with the game intro and other content.

By the next Progress Report I expect to have both of them fully or near fully complete in the new combat system. Overall this update in progress is fairly large and will take a bit more time but I'm setting it as a milestone for all missing content with new additions added.

That about covers everything I have for this report! Over the month I'll have smaller updates to share. I'm personally really excited to have finally gotten the game into this state and I'm really looking forward to sharing some more details and enemies coming.

Until then, thank you again everyone for your support and motivation, it means everything to me, so take care until the next update post!
